Chapter 6:

To Igneel

Lucy Pov.:

"Mommy, you hurt," Nuria said as she ran out of her room and over to me and Natsu.

"I'm okay, thanks to your daddy," I replied while Natsu helped me back to my feet. 'If Shannon really did go to the spirit world, then maybe Loke would know. I'll ask him about it later,' I thought as Natsu took me over to the couch.

"There is something I would like to know," Natsu said after he took a sat next to me, "What is this stupid dragon prophecy?"

"Shannon said that she would explain everything when we get there," Draco responded while he and Tatus were still standing.

"So how long till meet this Shannon," Natsu asked and he began to stare the two dragons down.

"Well, I was thinking that we let you guys pack the necessities tonight and we would leave tomorrow morning plus it would be four to five month travel since Draco and I can't stand trains so in four or five months," Tatsu replied then he started to stare off into space. 'Four months,' I screamed in my head.

"What if we took the train," I asked.

"A month and a half or two months but I don't plan on taking the train," Draco replied, "We've got motion sickness."

'I wasn't going to tell Natsu about this till his birthday but I might have something,' I thought as I got up and walked over to the kitchen cabinet. "Well, it's not done but I do have something that might help," I said as opened the cabinet and pulled out bottle with 200 little black-green balls inside, "Me, Levy, and Wendy have been working on it for a while. I'm not 100% sure this will work because it's only been tested once on Gajeel and it help him a lot but after six hours he was having troubles again. But we've improved it and should last a full day. I was going to give it to Natsu as birthday present but this is important so I'll go ahead and give to him now. Happy Early Birthday, Natsu!" I handed him the bottle and looked at me in awe.

"You made this for me," Natsu asked as he looked with grateful and a hit of lust eyes and he took the bottle.

"Yes, I worked on it for months," I said as I smiled at him, "I would suggest you save some for Nuria. We don't know if she inherited your motion sickness." Natsu simply nodded and put the bottle in his pocket.

"So we leave tomorrow morning," Emiko asked and we all turned to her. 'I forgot that she was here,' I thought as she stood in front of the closed front door.

"Thats the plan," Draco replied then I went to pack the necessities, make and eat dinner, and get some sleep.

Natsu Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 12 hours 5:23am*

The next morning, it was foggy and cold but I could only tell that it was cold because Lucy was shriving and came to me for warmth like she always did. I was holding a sleeping Nuria with my left arm and I had my right arm around Lucy. Lucy and I had backpacks on our backs as we made our way to the guild to let the master that we were leaving for a while. We stood in front of the guild and I pushed the doors. We walked in and Mirajane was the only in main hall and she said, "Morning, Dragneels, and Emiko. You all are here early. Whats up?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to the master," I said, "We've got a strong lead on Igneel and Kishiko so the family is going on this trip since Nuria wants to meet Igneel. Wanted to talk to master before we go."

"Of course, he is in his office," Mirajane replied and we marched to his office.

I knocked on his door and he yelled, "COME IN!"

"Morning Gramps," I said as we walked in.

"Morning Natsu," the master replied and we took a seat in front of his desk, "And you were just the person I wanted to talk to." I raised an eyebrow and I looked the old man up and down.

"What did you want to talk to me about," I asked and the master sighed.

"I've thinking of retiring and you're gotten very mature Natsu," the master said, "I want you to be the next master of Fairy Tail."

I lower jaw dropped and I stared at the master in disbelieve. "You're joking, my husband, Natsu Dragneel, the next master," Lucy responded.

"I'm not joking," the master said, "What do say Natsu, do you want to be Fairy Tail's next master?"

I broke out of my trance and said, "Master, while I would be honored to be the master, I can't. I just got a very strong lead on Igneel and I have to go. I made a promise to Nuria and Lucy that they would get meet Igneel and I think I will get to meet him this time."

"Really, is that why are you here," the master asked.

"Yes, I have a feeling that we'll be gone for a long time so came to ask for permission to go," I responded and the master looked at me with awe.

"Well, as long as you take communications lacrima so we contact you or you contact us then I guess it would be okay," the master said.

"Thanks master and I promise when I get we'll talk more about me becoming the next master," I responded and we walked out.

The master followed us out and said, "Mira, give these kids communications lacrima."

"Yes, right away," Mirajane said then she pulled one and handed it to Lucy.

"Its time to head," I said, "Let's go find Igneel." I saw Emiko smile and nodded as we marched.

"You brats better come back alive, you hear me," the master yelled then I gave him hand signal and walked out the guild doors. After that, I smelt tears while the guild hall doors closed be hind. 'Don't worry, old man, we'll come back,' I thought as I smelt mudded and metro.

"Ready to go," Draco asked.

"Yea," I replied and I the still sleeping Nuria into the crock of neck. 'Man, Nuria is a heavy sleeper just like me,' I thought as a proud smile came to my face and we headed for train station.

Dear Readers,

Well that Chapter took a while to write then I thought it would but I throw a curve ball in there. Who would have thought the master would want to make Natsu the next Fairy Tail master? No one expect me of course. I mean think about Natsu becomes a parent and an s-class wizard of course he became mature enough to become master. Anyways, please let me know what you think in a review because I do read them and I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
